Barry? As simple as we have no money for high wages.

Absolutely, he was saying how much he would like to play Champions league football as he is not getting any younger blah blah blah, at the end of the day, we just can't afford the wages and transfer fees that City is paying. All he wanted is money, there is nothing wrong with that as I'm sure alot of us would do the same if in the same position as Barry. At the end of the day, it is just a job. But if you are talking about someone like Beckham, he had made huge money before and thus would more likely to sacrifice the transfer fees or even pay for his own wages to play champions league football. I think he did pay like 2million pounds or Euro to play for AC milan last season.

So which players have we missed out on that have been signed ?

Kaka ?!?!
Ronlado !??!
Barry- allegedly not in for but allegedly in for ?

Anyone else ??

Or maybe its the case that we havent missed out on anyone and Rafa is still working away on signing s?

  surely this is Kuyt's fault

£17m for Johnson, I think BBC are on a windup

Keeping with the thread topic its hard to see who to blame. Maybe Rafa's been focusing on making sure Alonso and Mascha stay before chasing targets. Two weeks into the window and we're reportedly signing Glen Johnson very soon. Hopefully a decent attacking player is on his way in next, just wait an see, patience is a virtue

if you think we're too slow with the signging, just compare to the opposition:

mancs: minus their best player
chels?
arsenal?
liverpool - poss wrapping up a signing for an obvious weak position

[GYBS]

So who gets the blame (sorry i mean credit ) for us signing Johnson and beating one of our rivals to him

[Bammo]

Has Parry left the club or is he working until the end of June? If he's still here could he be responsible for the quick signing?   

[Igor Zidane]

17 million - jees we should have signed for 4 million from chelsea.
good business for pompey, but not us

lets hope he plays well if and when he arrives at lfc and proves his high price tag

Que a Dijmi Traore style own goal in his 1st game of the season as we lose 1-0 away at Burnley!

Dont knock big Djimi, despite his best efforts to the contary he's got a Champions League winners medal - Michael Owen doesnt......

Regarding Barry.  12m he went for but we didnt seem to be in the running or at least that seriously.  But Alonso and Mash last season proved themselves to be better than Barry being here and it just might be that we werent all that bothered about getting him.

The thread is interesting in that I like the fact that its all down to Benitez as he has to live with his signings or lack of and it should put an end to the debates that have haunted this forum.

Unless we end up in a crazy situation where one of the biggest clubs in the world have huge financial difficulties because Parry sold the club to two Yanks that didnt have the money to buy it but refinanced the buy out with a crazy loan that was dubious at the time.  Imagine if that were true
